Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Domino
Directed by Tony Scott in 2004. Domino Harvey, the daughter of the British actor Laurence Harvey, is a bounty hunter working in Ed Mosbey's team. Their next mission is to find the authors of a daring hold-up : $10 million cash stolen from an armour-plated van belonging to the owner of the casino Stratosphere, Drake Bishop. Domino and her comrades find the perpetrators and deliver them to Bishop's men.

Things become complicated when it appears that the delivered men were after all not implicated in the hold-up. But it is too late as Drake Bishop has already executed them. Unfortunately, the two sons of Anthony Cigliutti, a local mobster and also the real owner of the $10 million, were among the victims. Cigliutti has now only one idea in mind : to hit back at Bishop and at those who delivered his sons to him.
